That is due to the ia64 patch adding CONFIG_PERMON patches into init/main.c. AFAICT there is no reason that this patch cannot be sent to Marcelo to reduce the footprint of the ia64 patch on common code. David, can you send these ia64 patches to Marcelo for inclusion in base kernel? If you are too busy I will package them up and send them. Documentation/Configure.help Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt init/main.c Makefile (second chunk only, adding AFLAGS_KERNEL) include/linux/mm.h (just to reserve the bits) include/linux/prctl.h (reserve the bits) include/linux/time.h kernel/ksyms.c kernel/signal.c kernel/sys.c The list above excludes anything that might affect other architectures. The patch to ensure that the console variables are contiguous is already in 2.4.18-pre1. I would like to get crc32 in base as well but I believe that another person has been working on this as well. If you like I will reconcile the two versions and get one crc32 into base kernel.
